I'm pretty sure that for some seasons, the Match of the Day intro included a clip of Tony Ford celebrating one of his goals against Portsmouth in 1979.

I want to approach the BBC for permission to use a still in the Grimsby anthology, but it would obviously help if I knew what on earth I was talking about before I try and talk to them. Can anyone confirm I am right and when they used the clip in their intro.

No sign of that goal for me, remember the day well as we drew with Grimsby Amateurs in cup quarter final, I scored winner in replay on George V the following week and then broke me leg in semi final v App Frod.

Think it was first time town had ever been on MoD. Start of a golden period in our history
